Understanding the U.S. Constitution

The Constitution is still very much in the news these days. The basics for understanding this important document are presented here by Rabbi Hillel Katzir, J.D. This program is part of the Poudre River Public Library's "Civics @ Your Library" series.

This guy is awesome. We need more people to explain to these young minds how an actual legal system works and how to think.

I feel Constitution is explain so much easier to understand by this Gentlemen,
how the Constitution works,
than when I had this in High-school,

Thank you. I haven’t heard these points in years. Wish this video was required in public schools.

[glenwelch]

Bring the Constitution back to our schools !

He teaches this, just like I learned in school in the 1980’s. He breaks it down esp. the concept of we the people” as sovereign. Excellent job!

Now, THERE'S a true teacher!! He didn't politicize anything. He taught factual and historical data. THANK YOU!! A+, good sir.

I loved the delivery and ease of discussion. I will share with my young kids.

Very informative. I was impressed that he avoided Pros & Cons of the Constitution and stayed away from the Political Conflicts and views that are abundant today. Very enjoyable to be educated about what the founders tried to invent and direct

The biggest problems with teachers, some are really good at talking but not so good with the subject. Others are terrible speakers but are really knowledgeable with the subject making it hard to listen and pay attention too. The final are like this speaker really good at speaking and very knowledgeable of the subject creating a fascinating lecture. Great information.

This was the city I was born in. Good for you for free civics lessons

Needless to say, if anyone wants to understand the subject deeply, the Federalist`s papers is a must! You really have to understand the mindset of Hamilton & Madison.

He did quite a good job with this, especially when you consider how today we are most often forced to look at the subject through the distorted lens of political correctness and things such as that.

The Articles of Confederation created a framework for a central government. "We, the People" create a composite individual, here to represent all mankind. Public feedback has power, it's up to us to keep them honest.

WOW! I enjoyed this video on our American Constitution! It was the Professor/ Lawyer whom made this very interesting. Almost the same as I learned in the 50’s (late) and early 60’s. I was I had went to Law Schools at Florida State University 😊or in my beloved State of Texas. Go Long Horns 😊 Instead I did the Warrior Class Job of Protecting my beloved country as my Native American and Mountain Man family has done for years.❤
